Ably Kafka Connector: Extend Kafka to the edge reliably and safely

The new Ably Kafka Connector provides a seamless integration between Apache Kafka and the Ably platform, enabling companies to distribute data from Kafka to internet-connected client devices in a fast, easy, dependable, and secure way. By 2025, it is projected that 30% of all data will be realtime, with much of this data being generated by consumers. The Ably Kafka Connector helps businesses leverage realtime data to provide personalized, instantaneous experiences for their customers. It extends Kafka without the pain and offers the same guarantees, messaging semantics, and characteristics as Kafka. This connector is now available in beta on the Confluent Hub as a verified Gold connector.
